Posted on July 29, 2025July 20, 2025 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card inspired by a card created by the lovely Stacey Marsh using the Scenic Adventure stamp set and dies.

Colours used to make this card:

To recreate the mountain scene card, you will need:

Cloud Cover card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” – scored at 4⅛”
Mossy Meadow card – 5⅜” by 3⅝”
Cloud Cover card – 5¼” by 3½”
Smoky Slate card – 4⅛” by 2¼”
Mossy Meadow card – 4⅛” by 2”
Shaded Spruce card – 3” by 1¾”
Basic White card – 5½” by 3¾” for the inside

Using the grid paper to get things straight I stamped the water image across the 5¼” by 3½” at the 2¾” level, you need to stamp twice. In the upper ⅓ of the panel I stamped the clouds.

From the panel of Smoky Slate card I die cut the mountain and the row of trees was die cut from the 4⅛” by 2” panel of Mossy Meadow card.

I glued the row of trees to the mountain piece and glued the whole piece to the panel of 5¼” by 3½” Cloud Cover card on Dimensionals and trimmed off the overhanging pieces.

The whole piece was mounted onto the Mossy Meadow layer and then to the Cloud Cover card front. The double trees were added, slightly overhanging the raised panel.

Good Man

Posted on October 23, 2020October 20, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing a card made for my son in law Dom’s birthday. He and my daughter are lucky enough to live on the edge of the Peak District in the UK and they love to get out to walk or climb as often as possible. I have used the stamp set called A Good Man and teamed it up with my favourite Mountain Air stamp set.

To recreate the Good Man card, you will need:

Thick Whisper White card base –- 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper left corner
Misty Moonlight – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper left corner
Whisper White – 5⅜” by 3⅝” – rounded upper left corner x 2
Whisper White ¼” strip

I started by stamping the man in the deckchair using Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I stamped it again onto a large Post It note and cut it out using scissors. I wanted the man in the deckchair to be in the foreground of the picture and used the cut out as a mask.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty mountain scene and a man in a deck chair for a birthday card

With the mask in position I stamped the mountains in Misty Moonlight ink, the detailed image in full strength ink and the background reverse image in 2^nd generation.

I stamped the row of trees in Garden Green ink and the water in Balmy Blue ink. The ‘ground’ from the Snow Front’ stamp set was stamped in 1^st and 2^nd generation Sahara Sand ink.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk – A pretty mountain scene and a man in a deck chair for a birthday card

I peeled the mask away and coloured in the image using the following Blends Markers – Poppy Parade, So Saffron. Just Jade, Crumb Cake and Ivory.

The stamped panel was glued to the Misty Moonlight panel using Multipurpose Liquid Adhesive. The whole panel was added on Dimensionals to the Thick Whisper White card base.

The sentiment from the Itty Bitty Birthday stamp set was stamped onto a ¼” strip of Whisper White in Misty Moonlight ink and cut it down using Scissors. It was added with liquid glue to the card front.

I hope Dom likes the card.

A card featuring a couple running through the mountains

Do the Impossible

Posted on February 14, 2020February 10, 2020 by Mo Rootes

Today I am sharing the card I made my husband for Valentine’s Day. He is a mad keen runner and loves the outdoors so the Do the Impossible and Mountain Air stamp sets were perfect.

To recreate the Do the Impossible Valentine card you will need:

Shaded Spruce card base – 8¼” by 5⅞” scored at 4⅛” – rounded upper right corner
Poppy Parade – 5½” by 3¾” – rounded upper right corner
Whisper White – 5⅜ by 3⅝” – rounded upper right corner x 2
Whisper White – 2” by ½”

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A Valentine card made using the Do the Impossible stamp set and Mountain Air stamp set

I began by stamping the runners from the Do the Impossible stamp set in Memento Tuxedo Black ink onto one of the Whisper White panels. I stamped the same image on PostIt tape and cut out the figures using sharp scissors. These were then used to cover the figures acting as masks.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A Valentine card made using the Do the Impossible stamp set and Mountain Air stamp set

Next I stamped the mountains from the Mountain Air stamp set – detailed mountains in full strength Soft Suede, background mountains in 2^nd generation Soft Suede then 1^st , 2^nd and 3^rd generation Sahara Sand.

Tree line was stamped in full strength Shaded Spruce. I added the ‘path’ using some of the images from the My Meadow stamp set and 1^st, 2^nd and 3^rd generation Crumb Cake ink. I used the tree line stamp from the Mountain Air stamp set, stamped in Balmy Blue to provide the water.

The masks were then peeled off revealing the runner. They were coloured in using the following Blends Markers – girl in Poppy Parade como, Highland Heather combo, Ivory and Bronze and the man in Pretty Peacock combo and Call Me Clover combo, Ivory and light Smoky Slate. I used the Crumb Cake combo to fill in the white space around the images.

www.crafty-rootes.co.uk -A Valentine card made using the Do the Impossible stamp set and Mountain Air stamp set

I stamped the sun in So Saffron ink and used a sponge and Balmy Blue ink to add the sky. The birds were stamped in Early Espresso ink. The inked panel was glued to the Poppy Parade layer and this was added to the Shaded Spruce card base with Dimensionals.

The sentiment was stamped in Balmy Blue ink, the end was flagged and the sentiment added with Liquid Adhesive. I really hope my husband likes the card.
